I used to be king of the playground in middle school. But now, thanks to the combination of technological advances, the development of mobile apps and I guess inevitable maturity, I’ve been knocked from my throne and reduced to a mere mayor, as far as Foursquare is concerned.

April 22, 2010 was the day that changed my life. Why? Because that was the day I received my Apple iPad.

It’s safe to say that Google knows me better than either of my parents do. While my parents have always kept my wants and needs as two separate thoughts, Google somehow finds a way to give me both what I want and need at my favorite cost — free.
